Attended my first AGU in San Francisco, CA where I presented some preliminary findings from the first chapter of my dissertation. I had a great time hearing about and chatting science and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year!Â
Another field season is officially in the books! In slight disbelief that this summer marked my 7th consecutive summer conducting fieldwork in and around the University of Michigan Biological Station (yet, my first where seemingly everything that could have possibly gone wrong, did in fact go wrong). Despite the unprecedented field stress, it's always a joy introducing undergraduates to the place I first discovered I could be a scientist as an undergraduate myself. Next up: RNA extractions.
Thank you to the Ecological Society of America for allowing me the opportunity to give my oral presentation, titled:Â Assessing ecosystem-level response to recovery from historically high rates of anthropogenic nitrogen deposition, at the 2023 annual meeting in Portland, OR! I had a great time at my first ESA and look forward to the meetings to come!Â
